hiv is not transmitted through casual contact, environmental surfaces or inanimate objects.  once exposed to air, hiv becomes inactive and unable to infect.

sharing soap does not constitute a risk.

Unless your son has unprotected sex or shares works with her there is no possible way for him to contract HIV.
